Zhang Zhichu did not turn his head to look, he nodded slightly, then frowned and stood up, glancing at the mountain path at the waist of the mountain, and angrily said, "Why haven't those two guys arrived yet."

As soon as the words were finished, two people wearing Wu Dan robes emerged from the mountain path, quickly running to the position behind Wu Dan Sect.

"Those two guys, let them stay at the back!" Zhang Zhichu glanced at the position where Jiang Chen and the two were, and sat down angrily.

The other few turned to take a glance, but because the crowd was too dense, they could only vaguely see two people in Wu Dan robes stuck behind, unable to see their shapes and appearances clearly.

"I'll go and bring them over!" Elder Li whispered, "It's Xingyuan's first time here, he can't see clearly from the back."

"No need! Let him stay at the back! A dignified Innate Grandmaster overslept, could he be more disgraceful? Do not go and help him!" Zhang Zhichu glared at Elder Li, his eyes filled with deep anger.

Elder Li was momentarily stunned; he had anticipated Zhang Zhichu's anger, but he didn't expect to see Zhang Zhichu's anger towards him, leaving him a bit puzzled!

However, seeing Zhang Zhichu truly appear furious, Elder Li did not persuade further, nor did others.

Jiang Chen quietly glanced at Zhang Zhichu and the others through the cracks in the crowd, and seeing that he hadn't aroused Wang Zhong's suspicion, he sighed in relief, looked up at the positions where the Flame Dragon Group, Chixiao Sect, and the Five Great Families Along the River were, and nodded slightly.

Buzz!

A subtle Soul Force emerged from Jiang Chen, spreading around and enveloping the entire Martial Peak.

Why are there so many powerful experts? Are those people who have pledged allegiance to the three major organizations?

As the Soul Force enveloped Martial Peak, Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly.

On the back slope of Martial Peak, he sensed the presence of dozens of Saint Realm experts, some of whom were not from the three major organizations!

A heavy look appeared in his eyes, and Jiang Chen secretly sent a transmission to a mountain ridge on the east of Martial Peak.

Swish!

Suddenly, a figure leapt onto the platform in the middle of the crowd, drawing Jiang Chen's gaze upward.

On the platform stood an elderly bald man in a kasaya.

"Amitabha! This humble monk is Hui Tong, Abbot of Feng Bo. Regarding the rules of the martial arts tournament, everyone is well aware, so I won't waste your time," the elder chanted a Buddha's name, his face solemn as he said, "The current situation in the world of Martial Dao is complex and intricate, our Flame Dragon Martial Arts World has experienced several disputes, and recently even multiple exterminations. I hope that everyone can uphold the belief of unity among fellow compatriots and refrain from further killings."

"Abbot Hui Tong, killings cannot be avoided, it just depends on the reasons for them. When someone commits acts of great injustice, we can only use killing to stop killing!" Pu Liang, the leader of the Huangluo Clan, shouted loudly.

People from various major forces gave Pu Liang a glance and then turned to look at Hui Tong on the platform.

"What Pu Liang said is not without reason, but may I ask, what constitutes acts of great injustice?" Hui Tong asked calmly, looking at Pu Liang.

Pu Liang shouted, "May I ask the Abbot, are the deeds of the three major organizations not acts of great injustice? Shouldn't the people of the three major organizations be killed?"

"The deeds of the three major organizations violate human morality and are utterly devoid of conscience, deserving of transcendence!" A hint of coldness appeared in Hui Tong's eyes, but his tone suddenly changed as he spoke deeply, "But why were non-members of the three major organizations also exterminated?"

"This question will naturally be answered once the matter of the martial arts tournament is settled. However, please do not suggest that our actions are wrong!"

Pu Liang said coldly, "If it weren't for the deep admiration we have for someone, our Huangluo Clan would not bother to get involved in these broken matters, allowing you all to perish has nothing to do with us!"

"What... what do you mean?"

"The three hidden families have never intervened in martial arts affairs, why are they so actively involved this time, is it because they admire someone?"

"You're too ignorant, aren't you? Can't you see who the three hidden families have been cooperating with?"

"Is it Jiang Chen?! Do they admire Jiang Chen?"

"But Jiang Chen is already dead. Why are they still here, then for what reason?"

People from various major factions began whispering to each other.

Among the many forces, some exchanged glances, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in their eyes!

"Mr. Pu Liang, do you mean that the survival and demise of the Martial Dao World has nothing to do with your Huangluo Clan?"

An ill-intentioned shout sounded from the direction of Youming Hall where Elder Ming smirked coldly.

Buzz! Buzz!

An imposing aura emerged, and at the same time, a chilling killing intent descended upon Elder Ming!

"Elder Ming, would you like us to warm up the arena for the next round of matches?"

Pu Liang avoided verbally sparring with Elder Ming and instead directly unleashed his momentum, expressing his murderous intent decisively and clearly!

"Saint Realm?! Pu Liang has broken through to the Saint Realm?!"

"Does Pu Liang have murderous intent towards Elder Ming?"

"What… is there a grudge between them?"

People from various major forces exclaimed out loud.

"Hey yo!"

At this moment, a shout came, and everyone turned their heads to look towards the direction of Wu Dan Sect.

Behind Elder Li of Wu Dan Sect, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth climbed from the ground, angrily glaring at a young man in a dao robe in front of him and said, "What's the matter with you? Didn't you hear me tell you to make way? So what if your Wu Dan is one of Jiangbei's Six Great Sects? Can you bully those of us from the Five Great Families Along the River?"

"What's going on?"

"Is that young guy the Young Master of the Lou Family along the river, Lou Qiangqiang?"

"It seems he was trying to pass and accidentally fell when blocked by a disciple of Wu Dan!"

"What! It seems like the Five Great Families Along the River are deliberately trying to cause trouble for the Six Great Sects of Jiangbei!"

People from various major forces whispered among themselves.

Jiang Chen, standing at the back of the crowd, stared dumbfoundedly at Lou Qiangqiang in front, feeling a headache, and couldn't help but secretly complain, "Wow, this kid... is he really playing this tough?"

"Mr. Jiang, it makes sense! The Martial Arts Forces along the Jiang River have never gotten along well with those in Jiangbei. It's normal for them to try to step on each other's forces through the martial arts tournament. My father always said this kind of situation occurs in every martial arts tournament," Zhang Xingyuan whispered.

"Is that so! No wonder the Flame Dragon Martial Arts World is so powerful, yet it doesn't have much fame internationally, because all their energy is spent on internal conflicts!" Jiang Chen smirked slightly, expressing a trace of derision.

Zhang Xingyuan paused for a moment, then gave an awkward smile.

There's nothing they can do against the historical animosity passed down by the older generations!

"I didn't bump into you! You fell on your own!"

Wang Zhong frowned as he looked at Lou Qiangqiang, feeling a bit dumbfounded by Lou Qiangqiang's antics.
